Japan reports 31,622 new coronavirus cases
Giant numbers in a highly vaxxed and masked society.
You know the drill.

Obviously, it’s time for another booster to stop the spread but don’t skip the rush hour on Tokyo station now…

As always, the number of infections is irrelevant. The number of seriously ill, hospitalized, and dead is important, and overall, these numbers are extremely low. I wish the reporting was more nuanced than simple infection rates.

Game over!
18 people in hospital with severe symptoms in Tokyo out of 20million…. The sky is definitely NOT falling!
Masks off and finish all remaining stupid border measures!

I went from double masking to single masking a few weeks ago, but with these numbers it's back to double.

Would be wonderful if the media would stop reporting these numbers and people could just get on with life as it was pre-pandemic.
Last night during a leisurely bike ride I noticed that that is pretty much the case. People are out at and enjoying food and drinks talking with smiles on their faces!
